(Un)Packing Up, Again

I’m someone who is fascinated by starting over, probably because it took me nearly 24 years to finally start a new life for myself. I’m not a fan of sitting still. I also wear a necklace everyday that my mother gifted me which bears an arrow and the words, “Find Your True North.” However, in

Back to Basics: Photo Lesson #1 & Rookie Mistakes

I am by no means a professional photographer. One of my goals for the 2021 is to finally sell a photo of mine — and to print more, too. Until then, I like to consider myself an enthusiast who just so happens to know more than your average geek. But I still can make a

An Ode To A Cat We Never Expected To Have

About 14 years ago, my pet parakeet, Elmo, was coming to the end of his life. I’d had him since I was a child, and he’d flown with us from New Jersey to Ohio after my family moved to the Midwest in 2001. Now, you may be asking yourself, “Who gets a parakeet as a

iSwitched! From iPhone to Android with the Pixel 4a

Two weeks later with what Google is touting as everything you need, for less It was an emotional moment for me a few weeks ago. My Pixel 4a arrived in the mail.

The Photos You Don’t Take

Over the last year, I’ve tried to jump into the world of street photography headfirst, approaching strangers and asking for their picture, keeping a quick-draw wrist strap attached to my camera at all times,

A Day Alone in Lucerne

Early in the morning, Harman and I got up to grab a quick bite at the Coop Supermarket and then meandered around the city for a bit before his train to Zurich arrived. We bounced between a handful of bakeries and confectionery shops multiple times, taking new samples of that day’s pastry over and over

A Day On Top of the World

A Day On Top of the World

The Mountains to the North

While our final night in Italy may have seen us off with an easy if not slightly melancholic farewell, the following morning was nothing short of the hottest of messes, rivaled only by our struggle to get hail an Uber in Marseille or my misreading of the departure time for my flight home out of

Hiking to Heaven, Pt. 4

As the train slowed into the Riomaggiore station Harman and I were met with a sudden wave of energy and inspiration. This was it. We’d made it this far, so we might as well make the final village as memorable as possible. But to the best of my memory, when we first arrived I felt
